Review & FAQ:
Easily accessible from Phoenix, Piestewa Peak is a 2,610-foot mountain named after the first female soldier to be killed in the Iraq War. Hikers can take the 1.2-mile Piestewa Peak Summit Trail to the top of the mountain, but they should be aware that the hike is more difficult than it appears. This is one of the most popular hikes in the Phoenix area, and parking can be scare at times. It's necessary to bring plenty of water, especially during the hot summer months, and the hike typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes each way.
